The primary purpose of going to the tower is to tell some people that I am not dead.
Bai Wu could guess that once he died, the relationship between Zero and humans would be very bad.
It's not that he doesn't care about the survival of the tower or what will happen to the world.
Bai Wu also knew very well that if everything was still in time, then a head-on confrontation with the farm would be equivalent to fighting for the whole world.
And Zero, the Ark force, can play a very important role.
If the tower has been destroyed, then there will be very few places for humans to survive, and the Ark and the Mechanical City will become even more important.
But before that, Bai Wu decided to go see the scientists first.
His current look is somewhat exaggerated, with a dagger tied to his calf, a knight's sword on his waist, and a jealous sword on his back.
He really has some of the aura of a dragon slayer.
The two began to turn back. Since the curse of Denglin City has been lifted, it means that the scientists can leave here.
These people were indeed crushed by despair, but that doesn't mean they are unworthy of respect.
Not everyone can have the same mentality as the first generation or Professor Tao.
In the Denglin City Science and Technology Building, all the scientists had a dreamy feeling.
Watching the tentacles fall down one by one and rot.
The tentacle spurs shattered, the eyes closed, the flowers withered, and they all guessed what this meant.
"They really won... They killed Tao Xingzhi... No, they killed Jing Si?" Hou Haiyan looked at Fu Lei.
Fu Lei is the one with the strongest will in this group, but Fu Lei is also in shock now.
He didn't know if all this was true. Could it be that everyone was trapped in some negative attribute called "dream"
He patted his face, but it didn't have much force. It seemed as if his arms were too excited to exert any strength.
He couldn't imagine that two people who had failed more than a thousand times and were getting further and further away from hope could actually break the curse!
It is hard to imagine that hard work and persistence actually have meaning in this place.
But he also knew very well that Bai Wu and Wu Jiu were two special human beings.
What they can do would be considered miracles or fantasy to others.
Bai Wu didn't want to waste any more time:
"The curse has been lifted. You can leave now. We will try to return to the tower. If the tower is still there... well, I will arrange for someone to pick you up."
"If you're not here... then I can't take you away right away."
The scientists were still excited, and only at this moment were they truly sure that the monster had been killed.
Their hopeless fate came to an end here.
Fu Lei asked:
"Is Tao Xingzhi...dead?"
Bai Wu nodded, just looking at the joyful expressions of the people around him, he said:
"I have something to tell you about Professor Tao and Jing Si. Maybe you don't like what I'm going to say, but I think I still have the right to make you listen to me carefully."
The scientists didn't understand, but Fu Lei seemed to have guessed something. He shook his head slightly with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
As Bai Wu began to speak, the astonishment in Fu Lei's eyes began to turn into confusion.
Time passes by every second.
Bai Wu recounted the history of the entire Denglin City, a history unknown to the scientists:
“Perhaps you would think that death is a relief, but if you die without endless life and still have hope for the future… you will definitely be very unwilling.”
"You are tired of living, but until the end, Professor Tao longed to live."
"For seven hundred years, you have resisted hope, but there is someone who has never resisted hope. He suffers more than you. The curse has nothing to do with him."
"Until his death, he believed that you could find a way to defeat the evil."
Can seven hundred years of grievances be resolved with just a few words
Bai Wu didn't know either, but he knew that the people in front of him were not villains or hypocrites.
They are truly open and honest people.
Perhaps they would beg to be turned evil, beg to enter the tower.
But after seven hundred years of torture, who can pat their chest and say that their original intention remains unchanged
Who can really remain unshakable, unchanging, and unlooking back
So Bai Wu is willing to believe that when they learn the truth, it may be difficult to accept it for a while, but they will eventually understand it.
Fu Lei said:
"How long will it take you to get here after returning to the tower?"
"It will take at least twelve hours. We need some tools to return to the tower. I will go back first, and Bai Wu will stay here with you."
The one who answered was Wujiu, and he didn't know why Fu Lei asked that.
But Bai Wu understood.
Fu Lei, as well as all the scientists here, still have negative attributes.
The curse disappeared, but the most basic rules outside the tower still exist.
Fu Lei said:
"I probably won't live that long. I won't leave."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Fu Lei in surprise.
Hou Haiyan didn’t understand. Although Fu Lei looked the most normal on weekdays, he was the one who resisted hope the most in his heart.
Just like the most persistent person, once he gives up, he will be more desperate than others.
But now, the curse has been lifted. This is not a hope, but a real reality. Why does it suddenly stop going away
Fu Lei looked at everyone:
"You don't have to look at me like that. This is just a simple account. You'll know the answer after a quick calculation."
"The negative attributes in us have not been eliminated, which means that the curse does not include some things."
"So after they left, only about one-third of our group could survive until they arrived."
Fu Lei looked at Bai Wu:
"Bai Wu, just as you said, death is a relief for me and for us. I don't care what Professor Tao Xing... thinks, but we ourselves are very clear about the despair we have experienced."
"If I die, I'll be free. If I don't die..."
Bai Wu understood what he heard and said:
"You mean, the rules for protecting humans in this building are still in place?"
Fu Lei nodded:
"We thought it was impossible to die, but after experiencing death once, we saw that the monster became stronger."
"But if what you said is true, it means that these two things are separate. This is also easy to verify, because in this building, not only will humans not die, but supplies will also be automatically replenished."
In the past, people did not understand Tao Xingzhi, but now Fu Lei understands that Tao was not torturing them, but with his strong obsession, he provided them with an optimal research base outside the tower.
It was just that the intention was distorted by Jing Si's curse.
Fu Lei looked at everyone:
"The monsters now will not become more powerful because of our death, but we still won't really die..."
Bai Wu nodded secretly, this is indeed the truth:
"So what are you going to do?"
"I am a person who doesn't like to give up halfway. Although my experience over the past seven hundred years has made me give up many times, I think you have also more or less understood from more than a thousand battles that we are not giving up halfway..."
Bai Wu certainly knew:
"Yes, you deserve respect. You didn't give up halfway. It's just that every time you walk a foot, the road becomes ten feet longer. Such despair is indeed hard to bear."
There was gratitude in Fu Lei's eyes for being understood.
He really wanted to convince himself, Bai Wu, or everyone in the future that this group of scientists...
Not a coward.
"But it's different now. If the rules of this building are still in effect, it means I still have an infinite life... I can study ways to fight against evil."
"A lot of the evil outside the building died, but there are still quite a few left, enough for us... enough for me to do research. I... I want to continue my research."
Wujiu was in awe, and Baiwu was also a little surprised.
The most difficult thing in this world is not to remain calm and composed when facing death.
Many people do not feel scared when they experience death for the first time, but once they survive, they will feel boundless fear when they experience it for the second time.
But Fu Lei overcame this difficulty.
"Don't look at me like that. I told you, if I really die, it will be a relief for me. It won't be a loss anyway."
Fu Lei turned around and looked at his colleagues who had experienced seven hundred years of torture together:
"You must persist in staying alive and resist the negative attributes until Bai Wu and the others rescue you."
"But I, Fu Lei, will not leave."
Even if I go to the underworld, at least I can hold my head high and say to Tao Xingzhi that I did not escape.
But Fu Lei did not say this, because he did not want to encourage these people to stay.
If possible, he hopes that these colleagues can enter the tower and live like ordinary people for the rest of their lives.
But Fu Lei also underestimated these colleagues.
They were indeed not as tenacious as him, but when they chose to stay, they were just as determined.
Bai Wu and Wu Jiu looked at each other and felt the shock in each other's hearts.
Even Bai Wu, who was familiar with people's hearts, did not expect—
After Fu Lei expressed his stance, more and more scientists... decided to stay.
In the end, more than half of the scientists stood behind Fu Lei.
A small number of people, such as Hou Haiyan and his group, finally chose to wait for Bai Wu's rescue.
It's not shameful.
After seven hundred years, they no longer owed the world anything. If they returned to the tower, Bai Wu would be willing to give these scientists the best treatment. They deserved everything.
In the next few hours, Fu Lei took Bai Wu to visit the building and told him about some research results and ideas.
Bai Wu also asked if some material support was needed, and also talked about things in other areas.
The two were so engrossed in their conversation that time passed quickly. When Wujiu arrived, the two hadn't even finished their conversation.
At the time of parting, Bai Wu said:
"I have learned a lot in the past twenty days. This trip to Denglin City was not in vain."
Fu Lei has become another Professor Tao, the leader of the scientists who decided to stay:
"It's the same for us. The knot that had been there for seven hundred years has been untied. By the way, Jing Si took some of his colleagues with him and went to Xuanhui City..."
"I know about this. Don't worry, I will take them all to the tower and tell them what happened in the past seven hundred years."
Bai Wu's words seemed to reveal that the group of colleagues back then were in a state of confinement.
But Fu Lei didn't ask any further questions. He just stretched out his hand and said:
"Denglin City will always remember you. We will also always remember you."
Bai Wu also stretched out his hand:
"Saving the world cannot be done by just me and my partner, Professor Fu. I am waiting for your research results. My intuition tells me that you will be the key."
"So is your intuition accurate?"
The two of them burst into laughter, and the trip to Denglin City came to an end.
…
…
High tower.
Yan Zizai has been extremely busy lately.
In addition to the affairs within the tower, there is also the matter of finding the exact location of the tower outside the fog.
To establish a place for a traction wheel to go, you first have to have been there.
The tower's current transit station is the Baichuan City Shelter. It is extremely difficult to cross many areas from the shelter and finally cross the sea to the outside of the fog.
After all, the only people who have been outside the fog are Baiwu and Wujiu.
These two people are undoubtedly monsters among monsters. They cannot be regarded as human beings at all.
It is extremely difficult to form a team that can go out of the fog.
Ultimately, we have to look for it in the Survey Corps' Seventh Squadron.
So Bai Xiaoyu, Shang Xiaoyi, Yin Shuang, Wang Shi, Lin Wurou, together with several team leaders, led by family guardians Wang Su and Zheng Yue, began to head out of the fog.
The reason why so many top tower fighters were sent there was because, under Xie Xingzhi's unremitting efforts, Zero revealed some information -
A large number of monsters are heading towards the tower. If we don't build a defense position outside the tower, when the monsters destroy the tower from the outside... then all the people in the tower will be killed.
A catastrophe with devastating consequences will come.
This forced Yan Zizai to take it seriously.
Wujiu narrowly escaped death when he went to Denglin, Baiwu also died, and the tower was about to face a catastrophe again... Yan Zizai suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
A feeling of anxiety and uneasiness rose in my heart.
Especially since he still didn't know how to tell Yan Jiu the news of Bai Wu's death.
How sad and desperate would the little girl be if she knew this
Yan Zizai was having a headache over these things, until suddenly... he received a call from his subordinate—
"Sir, the deputy commander of the Survey Corps is back!"
The recorder in the eastern square of the lower level of the Survey Corps who was in charge of the report.
Although the recorder is not Yan Zizai's man, Yan Zizai is now considered a leader of the Survey Corps.
Once an important person enters the stone tablet, he will be contacted by phone immediately, giving a feeling of racing against time in extraordinary times.
Yan Ziyi frowned when he heard this. Deputy commander of the Survey Corps
The Survey Corps had two deputy commanders, one was Gu Qingyu and the other was Bai Wu, the latter being a temporary deputy commander.
Thinking of this, his tone became a little excited:
"You mean Gu Qingyu is back?"
"Yes, Deputy Captain Gu and Deputy Captain Bai are back together! In fact, Captain Gu came back half a day ago, but he didn't let me tell you... Sorry..."
My mind is a little confused.
Deputy Captain Bai
Yan Zizai's hands suddenly began to tremble, and his voice became hurried:
"Deputy Captain Bai? Are you talking about... Bai Wu?"
"Yes, Deputy Captain Bai is back too. They are heading towards the fifth floor."
